Prime has been crashing all day, and I did one myself just now. Got a screenshot too, if you need it.

And another one just now. Me again.

Hate to triple post, but on the topic of shifters, I was wondering about one of the elemental shapes. The water elemental has the appearance and animations of a staff wielder. Would it not make more sense to have it listed as such for the sake of weapon proficiencies and the whatnot, instead of unarmed like the other (unarmed) elemental shapes?

Has Prime still be crashing frequently?

Also, even though the water elemental shape appears to have a staff, it's just in the model: it's actually unarmed and uses creature claws like the rest do.

Some things that would be helpful:

1. Any items in your Hak/Override folders?
2. If so what are they, if you don’t need them can you delete them
3. Do you have CEP installed?

Reason for asking these is there are many shifters on the server and I have seen many of them including myself die and never caused a crash.

No haks, no mods, nothing.

Well I have played with a few, but they mostly die in dragon shape. It never fails as soon as they die it crashes the server. Something I did notice is they have their hitpoints get screwy after death (ie. in the high negative hundreds) at least on my screen.

Prime has been crashing a bit excessivly the past few days. I believe a few times it was caused by shifters. One odd thing yesterday was DB glitches or something causing me to loose items and levels even after resting and loging off/switching toons. The strange part is the losses, I would loose gear but not XP or vice versa, as if the saves were out of sync.

ugh 2 crashes today:

crash 1: my wiz crashed my comp (not server) from endurance death (resting with very little hp that are really only ther from con buff) while this is my own stupid fault for not healing b4 resting still odd that i crashed from it...seems somewhat related to current probs...

crash 2: a lvl 7 slave druid got critted while in bear form and died this immediately crashed the whole server it seemed...

it seems that this is all directly related to the -10hp after death... while i love this feature at lvls 1-2 it seems that maybe this system should be removed due to all the funky bugs/probs associated with it..

edit: i have no haks etc in my overide folder and im 99% the druid doesnt either...

you raise an intresting point. Has anyone thought about the scripting for the -10 health?

IE the chance you will heal automaticaly while below 0 but above -10?

could it be this script that is causing the crashes related to shifters?

Is there a way to turn of the bleeding feature off to test if it is the root of the problem?? Although I've heard of other NWN servers with similar shifter bugs.
